And under what custom action does the destination setproperty need to be if the FileId attribute is used? (I have used AppSearch not user it is right one or not) And another quick question instead of hard coding destination file path. I am setting a property like [INSTALLOCATION]="E:\Websites\CBUDirect" which I am passing as parameter (not shown below) .So the "DestFilesFolder" vaue becomes "[INSTALLOCATION]\Website\App_Config" After="AppSearch". And it is working well for installation ,but during UnIstallation it does give a error like Failed the network search "\Website\App_Config" ie the [INSTALLOCATION] is not been stored during the unistallation. Then how to crossover this hurdle? Note:[INSTALLOCATION] is dynamic one given only during MSI installation package. I have implemented using FileID attribute of Copyfile please see below. <Fragment> <SetProperty Id="DestFilesFolder" Value="E:\Websites\CBUDirect\Website\App_Config" After="AppSearch" /> <ComponentGroup Id="CopyFiles"> <ComponentRef Id="CMP_LOG4TXT" /> </ComponentGroup> <DirectoryRef Id="WEBSITE"> <Component Id="CMP_LOG4TXT" Guid="DBAF8230-218D-44BB-B34B-7B26FD144454" KeyPath="yes"> <File Id="File_installme" Source="C:\Workspaces\Chatra\Website\CBUDirect.Web\App_Config\Deployment.Prod uctionBuild.config.xml" > <CopyFile Id="Copy_LOG4TXT" DestinationProperty="DestFilesFolder" DestinationName="Deployment.Production.config" /> </File> </Component> </DirectoryRef> </Fragment> -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Copy-file-where -source-and-Destination-same-tp7584088p7584090.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Everyone hates slow websites.
